OPENING 2026 

The kickoff for Nürnberg Digital Festival 2026—and you’re invited!

On June 22 starting at 4 PM, in the Kleine Meistersingerhalle. Hang out in the foyer and outdoor area for a night of networking, exploring, and settling in—catch up with familiar faces, meet new people, enjoy a great lineup, plus drinks and good food. It’s also the perfect chance to map out your festival schedule.

Meet some great speakers on stage:
• Christian Kroll (CEO of Ecosia): How a German startup turned into a global movement—what “purpose” really looks like in practice and where it hits limits.
• Dr. Judit Klein (Head of Startups at ZOLLHOF Tech Incubator): Bavaria has overtaken Berlin in new startups in 2026—she breaks down what drove that shift and what’s on startup minds right now.
• Neil Harbisson (Cyborg artist & cyborg rights advocate): The world’s first officially recognized cyborg talks about the human–machine boundary today—and gives a live performance.

Whether it’s your first time or you’ve been part of the community for years—stop by!

Your Gateway to the Region’s Tech Community

Explore workshops, talks, and hackathons on topics like AI, robotics, design, new work, and marketing.
Learn new skills, get inspired, connect with like-minded people, and discover what others in the region are working on.
Many events are free to attend, spread throughout the metropolitan region, and take place in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Technology without human involvement is like an orchestra without musicians—impressive in theory, but lacking soul in practice. To me, the festival is a great and unique concept.

As a startup, NUEDIGITAL provided us with a valuable opportunity to showcase our concept of practical emotional fitness, gather feedback, and develop our formats.

NUEDIGITAL brings people together online and in person. It's 10 days of nonstop learning, sharing, and making new connections – you always leave inspired.
